Following the events of "White Rose Tea" and "Bright Lights and Bumblebee", Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang are finally united. But as the younger pair try to endure the prejudice that comes with their sexuality, and the general awkwardness of being in a relationship for the first time, and the elder trying to mend a slightly broken and battered relationship, and the deal with racial discrimination against the Faunus, things were never exactly going to go quite as smoothly as anyone wanted it to. Beta read by the amazing Maltssie, aka Jaune :3

"How do you know her?" Blake blinked. "Just a...thing. I thought I met her at a concert once. Three years ago..." *** Blake Belladonna unexpectedly finds herself at a concert - loud, crowded and full of hyped up teenage girls, it's a place she would much rather avoid. She runs into Yang - boisterous, underdressed and a bit too amiable for Blake's liking, she is quick to dismiss the blonde party-goer. Little does she know, she's caught Yang's attention, and the bookish senior student is surprised to find accepting Yang's offer for a drink as easily as she does. (College AU, in which Blake is a still a Faunus. Closely linked to White Rose Tea. Bumblebee is the name for BlakexYang, while Bright Lights refers to the concert, and to Beacon.)

"The White Stag had been open for a while now. The fashionable, almost boutique coffee shop, like all coffee shops, had its regular customers. The ones that grabbed something quickly on the way to work. The ones that came daily during their lunch break...There was even a writer who sat for hours in the back corner by the window, typing away on a laptop, meeting with publishers and editors as if it was her office. But none of these regulars were quite like Ruby Rose." *** RWBY 2016 WATTY AWARDS BEST OF THE PAST 5TH PLACE Ruby and Weiss shipping. Weiss works in a coffee shop where she meets Ruby. Ruby continues to come in to the shop and feels happen. **disclaimer!! I don't own RWBY or its characters** *** (For non-RWBY people, White Rose is the ship name for Ruby and Weiss. Also, there are some Hetalia references scattered throughout ^^)

this is a relic and a half alfjakdks some of my thoughts on my RWBY series one year on from when I started writing it!
